    Non resident OTC tags sold out

    Make it a lottery for nonresidents. Get the tag money and the application fee. It seems easily justifiable at this point. Same statewide tag.

    When will results posted on portal accounts

    Maybe it's already done. How do we know the AZGFD isn't already done updating portals and you probably just didn't get a tag? AZGFD is not known for being slow in situations like this. Haha just messing with you. Fingers crossed you get the tag you want! I'm glad you have been a good sport about the CC hit debacle.

    The I’ve been drawn for DEER thread

    You mean one point? - Assuming Hunter's ED

    How long until cards are hit??

    Yes. It seems illogical to assume that with their history there is no issue - when a litany of people are speculating more than any other year after credit card hits... Typically where there is smoke there is fire. I'm up to like 14 people that I know personally or second hand that put in for these high draw odds hunts. 3 of the 14 can claim a hit. Coincidence? No such thing.

    I think that I don't know enough to speculate how they do it, but to assume it was that straight forward seems way optimistic considering their history

    I think a problem happened, and they just haven't fixed it yet. Too many anomalies. No such thing as coincidences. IE - it must be a coincidence that the 1% or people that don't get drawn on some of these hunts are all on the same thread

    You're assuming that if a problem happened, they could fix the issue fast enough for that to take place.

    Triple Ditto. Multiple people (4) with 2 bonus points at a minimum each - and 1st and 2nd choice hunts some of the highest draw odds hunts in the state.

    What thermal/night vision binocular to buy?

    So is it a binocular you want? Or a rifle scope? Thermal? Or night vision? All very different with different price ranges

    It's times like this when my deep trust in the accuracy of their process is really strengthened.

    They should already be outsourcing it. It drives me nuts. You're telling me the amount of money they have in that department - salaries, tech, etc... They can't figure out how to do it better for a fraction of the cost? If they were really smart, they would find a company that will take a percentage of the draw app fee cost, then they don't even have to carry that money year round. It pays for itself when it happens and the third party is incentivized by speed and efficiency because that's how they would get paid. Then build it back into the cost of the fee which would likely be nominal or non-existent. Lots of new blood needed in AZGFD.
  12. It depends. What takes priority - ergonomics or lightest weight. I chose something else thinking you wanted something that was the lightest but after looking at the choices it seems like you're after a specific ergonomic. Which is great it just depends on what you want the gun to be. Big difference between a 6 lb unscoped gun and a 7 lb unscoped gun. What's the rest of the build?

    Mandatory reporting

    Nobody at the department should ever build a system for anything. They are a wildlife agency not a tech or software company. But yes every tag should be mandatory reporting. Currently they are just guessing. They make archery mandatory reporting, and base harvest for archery off of a percentage of total harvest, but they literally don't know what the total harvest is. Lol how is that possible? Why is there no accountability for that?

    New IPhone 14 with satellite communication

    Lol this is more about a broken leg/heart attack by yourself in some deep canyon and need help situation than anything. It sounds like ol Dutchman hunts close to people though if he has roads every 1/4 mile. Luckily for us he is tougher than everyone else and can manage.

    Archery Kills rolling in already

    I think the data shows it's a lot easier to kill a muley with a bow than a Coues when we are in wetter monsoon years that make sitting water not as effective. Too many younger muley bucks will stand there and try to figure out what's going on - letting people fling arrows at distances they may or may not be competent at Muley bucks killed are either outpacing or matching the Coues killed in units where Mule Deer quotas are significantly lower and Mule Deer numbers overall are significantly lower. (For the most part)
